One for You Two for Me

Holiday gifts are difficult. This year a few people are getting a jar of bourbon caramel from us. Unfortunately we have a big problem. This caramel is way too good. Parting with it hurts. Not a punch in the face type of hurt. It hurts because the recipient be worthy. They need to have the appreciation for it. I have eaten it on ice cream. I have stirred it into coffee. I have eaten it straight from the jar. Since we can't "give" everyone a jar we wanted to share the recipe. Hopefully you can share it more easily than I can. If not, just share the recipe.

Bourbon Caramel Sauce

1500 grams sugar

300 grams water

100 grams corn syrup

750 grams heavy cream

40 grams vanilla paste

225 grams butter

21 grams salt

250 grams bourbon

Put the sugar, water and corn syrup
in a heavy bottomed pot. Stir the mixture together until it resembles wet sand.
Put the pot on medium high heat and put a lid on it. Cook the mixture for
ten minutes. Remove the lid and take a look at the sugar syrup. It should be
clear and boiling. Put the lid back on and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
Remove the lid. The sugar should be just beginning to color. Continue to cook
the sugar until it is dark amber. Swirl the pan occasionally to blend the
caramelizing sugar into the mixture. When the sugar is caramelized, remove the
pan from the heat. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the hot sugar. The cream
will boil and spurt, so be careful. Add the butter, vanilla paste and salt and
stir into the caramel. When the butter is absorbed stir in the bourbon. It will
sputter and boil. Remove the caramel from the heat and allow it to cool.
Pour the cooled caramel into jars, label and share with only those who deserve
it.
